Hi,
I hope that Andy or perhaps Ray may
answer to this.
Before diving in the code, I wonder if it would
be easy (or even possible) to have more than one cart session from the
POS.
The idea is to stock and recall a
ticket.
Happy new year to all
Jacques

Jacques,
The idea that has been mentioned before I think is to use the save cart feature already in the frame work. There was initially a Load/Save button on the POS UI but it was not fully implemented in the POS at that point and the buttons have been commented out I think. Here's some thoughts of what I think needs doing: A UI built for it so that you can hit Save and it will possibly prompt for a name, although as lots of terminals operate without a keyboard handy it should prefill with the date and time. Close the dialog and the cart is saved under that users login and the session cleared ready for a new transaction. Click Load and a dialog showing saved carts should appear allowing the user to select and load one. At the point of completing a loaded POS transaction the saved cart should be removed from the list. The load dialog might also benefit from a delete button to clear redunant carts. Depending on the environment some might also use auto save on log out so one terminal can be used by multiple staff i.e. a bar Ray --- Jacques Le Roux <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hi, > > I hope that Andy or perhaps Ray may answer to this. > > Before diving in the code, I wonder if it would be > easy (or even possible) to have more than one cart > session from the POS. > > The idea is to stock and recall a ticket. > > Happy new year to all > > Jacques > > > _______________________________________________ > Dev mailing list > [hidden email] > http://lists.ofbiz.org/mailman/listinfo/dev _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.ofbiz.org/mailman/listinfo/dev |

Not obvious, TRANS_SAVE & TRANS_RET perhaps. But at first glance, I can't see no code associated with theses options. I have to dive in ;o) > Here's some thoughts of what I think needs doing: > A UI built for it so that you can hit Save and it will > possibly prompt for a name, although as lots of > terminals operate without a keyboard handy it should > prefill with the date and time. My prospective customer wants also a virtual keyboard. But yes date+time+ (perhaps) login+incremental_number by default. Login because perhaps some kind og sharing will be asked for later... > Close the dialog and the cart is saved under that > users login and the session cleared ready for a new > transaction.
